Okay, there must be more to this story then I got from the links. What are these 70's era contracts that came up? Did the ROI government sell the land out from under the rightful owners to Shell? Well, there's only one thing to do... take the ROI government to the EU court for fraud. They sold something they didn't have the right to and should be forced to 1) return the money to Shell 2) pay restitution for trouble caused.
